I used a pearl Adirondack paint dabber and covered both beer mats. Once dry I applied alcohol inks to them. On each beer mat I stamped a Tim Holtz stamp and went over the outlines with a thin black pen.

To the first mat I added the film strip with numbers behind it. I stamped on some paper flowers and added these next to the film strip and in the opposite corner.

For the second mat I coloured some of the stamped image with peel-off pens (that is, pens that will dry on the alcohol ink). Using small staples, I then attached a piece of mica that I had coloured with alcohol inks. Having edged the 'promise' Doodad (Tim Holtz) with brown ink, I stuck it to the mica with glossy accents. To add the finishing touch, I attached a square, copper brad to each corner of the mat.

About Me

I am a self-taught mixed media artist. I discovered my creative side a few years ago when I started card-making. This led me to an increasing interest in the realms of mixed media, and I have loved discovering collage, metal work, journalling, altered art and digital collage.
I am overwhelmed by all the visitors to my blog and want to thank everyone, especially my followers, for your ongoing interest.

Thank you!

An especial 'thank you' to all my followers and those of you that visit and take time to leave comments. It is great to know that people drop by, enjoy what they see and, hopefully, find some inspiration, just as I do when visiting the blogs of others.
